NOTE: Subsequent removal/ replacement of the batteries will necessitate this same date/time setting
procedure because these batteries power the clock. Hence the clock settings are lost every time the
batteries are removed or replaced or the Main Power Switch in the battery compartment is turned to
‘OFF’. Except Version 2 software that holds the clock with no batteries.
If the display still does not activate this indicates the NiCad / NiMH batteries are exhausted and the 3rd
charging procedure detailed in Step 4 below must be followed. Proceed to 2

Note also that up to this point no buttons have been pushed on the DU display panel. The only switch that
